Posted April 9, 201212 yr comment_386748 Hi, today I bought another 240z as the one I have was really too far rusted to repair. So now I am fixing up this 1970 240z and I will use my other z for any parts I may need. Now the interesting part is my Vin number is 000566, is this a good thing? does it make the car more collectable? i plan to do a proper restoration over the next couple months. here are a couple pics, it even has the D hubcaps:classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/42890-low-vin-240z-is-this-a-good-thing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 9, 201212 yr comment_386754 Looks pretty nice for a car from up north. I think there is some value to a nicely restored low VIN car, but I think it is more important that you make it the car YOU want it to be. Just be sure to save all of those original parts (including those hubcaps) for the future owner.

April 9, 201212 yr comment_386755 Wish I could do a restoration in a couple of months. 2 1/2 years in so far and I still need about another year!

April 9, 201212 yr comment_386757 A couple of months seemed a little short on time to me as well. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/42890-low-vin-240z-is-this-a-good-thing/#findComment-386757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 10, 201212 yr comment_386766 A couple of months seemed a little short on time to me as well.Now don't rain on his parade... Maybe he has $20k sitting in the bank waiting for something to spend it on...Personally it took me five years to get my Z operational, and I still have to tweek it and fix my earlier mistakes every winter. But I know that there are people out there who are way better at repairing cars than I am.

April 10, 201212 yr comment_386774 congratulations and yes! i'd say it brings up the value of the car. Is your's a 12/69? It's funny that yours is 566 because mine is 655 also in need of full resto.
